Imaging Spectroscopic Ellipsometer

 

Ellipsometry is a well-known non-destructive optical method for determining film thickness and optical properties. Imaging Ellipsometry combines the power of ellipsometry with microscopy. The EP³-SE offers greatest flexibility for measurements with Imaging Ellipsometry. It allows the analysis of multilayer/multi parameter systems and to choose a proper wavelength for absorbing materials. Additionally, a multiple- wavelengths mapping of the field of view (Micro- Mapping) is possible, yielding thickness and/or refractive index maps – similar to AFM surface topographies. For each wavelength the highest available lateral resolution can be achieved, which makes the EP³-SE to a unique instrument for spectroscopic measurements of micro- structured samples. The spectroscopic Imaging Ellipsometer EP³-SE uses a Xenon arc lamp to address up to 46 wavelengths between 365 nm to 1000 nm.
